The Eternal Sky tells the tale of a journey through space & time of a merry
band of travellers who are destined for something greater than the typical
Egyptian afterlife. The journey is told via modern and traditional arrangements
and composition. The use of vocals is kept to a bare minimum instead the focus
of story is told through the inflection of the music itself. As usually with
the gang from Hawkwind the drops in and out between ambient spacesapes to
middle eastern percussion with time out for one or two more modern tracks. The
context of the story is contained in the liner notes with the appropriate
tracks labeled within the context of the literary work. The album itself
functions best as an entire work of fiction rather than as individual cut up
tracks and would fall under the concept album moniker. Anubian Lights leaves me
wondering just exactly how many side projects Nik Turner really has and if
anyone will ever let the man ever pass onto the afterlife himself?
Anubian Lights are:
Nik Turner - flutes, voices, sax, light
Len Del Rio - synths, programming, tapes, tronics, coordination
Grenas - keyboards, synths, tapes, hieroglisstic guitar
Paul Fox - loops, synth, keyboards, programming, cryptic hiss
Doran Shelley - guitar, electrostatic lyre
Del Dettmar - pitch to the midi orchestration, synths, protection
Simon House - electric violin, hiding
Brandon Labelle - percussion, loops, anteroom antics
